Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S superphone coming to T-Mobile as the “Vibrant”?
Posted on June 22, 2010 | No CommentsOh, you thought AT&T was the only one getting a custom, branded version of the Samsung’s Galaxy S Android superphone? Nope! T-Mobile’s getting one as well — albeit one that’s not quite as easy on the eyes. CellPhone Signal just unearthed a pretty monstrous heap of details on ol T-Mo’s version of the Galaxy S.

Toshiba’s Dynabook Qosmio V65 is a high-end laptop, Blu-ray player and DTV in one
Posted on June 14, 2010 | No Comments
Toshiba in Japan announced [JP] a new Qosmio laptop today, the Dynabook Qosmio V65. The main selling point of the device (of all Qosmios, in fact) is the "multi-media" capability: Toshiba promises that the laptop produces high-quality images, thanks to the SpursEngine coprocessor (that Toshiba has been using in its CELL TV and Qosmio laptops since 2008), LED backlight, and the 15.6-inch "Clear SuperView LED" HD TFT screen with 1,366×768 resolution.

Sony sales numbers reveal surging PS3, waning PSP
Posted on May 13, 2010 | No CommentsSony just released the numbers from the last fiscal year (April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010). The good news (for Sony and its shareholders, at least) is that PS3 sales were up quite a bit from the previous year, going from 10.1 million sold to 13 million this year. The bad news is that PSP sales have hit a bump in the road, going from 14.1 million in to 9.9 million. Translating those numbers into English, that means that the PS3 is doing a heck of a lot better than it ever was, and that the PSP, well, isn't.

Dell Aero slips though the FCC, ready for Q2 launch
Posted on May 6, 2010 | No CommentsWith FCC approval out of the way it looks like the Dell Aero is all set to meet the leaked Q2 launch goal. Sure, we've already seen a generic Dell Mini 3iX (model V02B) pass through the FCC with AT&T (Canadian Bell Mobility, Telus, Rogers) bands back in November. But today's Mini 3iG (model V01B) sports 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth, UMTS 1900 / 850 support, and the undeniable "Aero" marketing name destined to grace the first of many Android handsets made by Dell (uh hem, Foxconn) to be sold Stateside. For whatever that's worth.

NetWalker PC-T1: Sharp announces mini tablet for Japan for next month
Posted on April 19, 2010 | No Comments
The iPad hasn't landed in Japan yet, giving domestic competitors some room for their own announcements for tablet PCs. Sharp, for example, today unveiled [JP] the NetWalker PC-T1, which looks like a tablet variant of the PC-Z1 the company introduced last year. Both models look pretty similar, it's just that the older device lost the keyboard to become the T1.

HTC Trophy details leaked in full [Updated]
Posted on February 3, 2010 | No Comments
When the HTC Trophy made its first appearance on that leaked 2010 roadmap back in early December, we said that it looked like a T-Mobile HTC Dash with a touchscreen.
Now that we've got a clearer picture and a bunch more specs on it, however, it looks more like a... well, a T-Mobile HTC Dash with a touchscreen.

Palm Pixi clears FCC with Verizon frequencies and WiFi in tow
Posted on December 13, 2009 | No CommentsIf you were looking for just one more reason to ditch Sprint then this could be it. A CDMA-flavored Palm Pixi just cleared the FCC -- yes, another one -- and we can say with confidence it's not coming to Sprint this time around. Better yet, Palm's model P121EWW matches up with that P121 code we saw leaked a while back for Big Red (Sprint's model is P120EWW), and this sucker got tested for 802.11b/g WiFi. Looks like that Sprint ad touting the Pixi's non-existent WiFi was more than just wishful thinking. With webOS-powered Palm gear already confirmed on Verizon for "early next year," are you really going to make the jump to a WiFi-less Pixi on Sprint knowing what's on the way? And more importantly, can we expect another terrifying series of ads targeting Sprint this time instead of AT&T?

Onkyo to sell beefed up version of Kohjinsha’s dual-screen notebook
Posted on December 10, 2009 | No Comments
I'm sure many of you remember the pretty cool-looking dual-screen notebook Japanese company Kohjinsha announced last month (it's already available over here). As it turns out, another Japanese PC maker, Onkyo, thought the device is worthy enough to get rebranded and improved spec-wise. The result is the DX1007A5 [JP], which is slightly more expensive than the Kohjinsha original though.
So what's new? The device still features two sliding, LED-backlit 10.1-inch LCDs (no touch screens) but with an improved resolution of 1,366×768 (instead of 1,024×600). Onkyo also beefed up some internal specs: The notebook now has 2GB RAM (Kohjinsha: 1GB) and a 320GB HDD (Kohjinsha: 160GB) but doesn't offer the 1-Seg digital TV tuner anymore (which was usable only in Japan and parts of South America). And the body color changed to white.

New e-reader “txtr”: Germany’s answer to the Kindle
Posted on October 15, 2009 | No Comments
Deutsche Telekom's e-book reader probably has gone the way of the Dodo, but the Germans are still getting a home-made Kindle competitor. The device, dubbed txtr, was announced at the Frankfurt Book Fair that's happening in Deutschland right now, and it will become available in that country as soon as December 1 (as pre-order).
The txtr is the product of a Berlin-based start-up of the same name. It features a 6-inch grayscale e-ink screen, a microSD slot (an 8GB card is included in the package, 1GB flash), an ARM11 CPU (532MHz), 64MB RAM, a micro-USB port and "ultra-long battery life" (company quote). The device is sized at 151×131×12 mm and weighs 281g.

Prepare yourselves… for Wi-Fi Certified N!
Posted on October 1, 2009 | No CommentsWe're pleased to say that 802.11n has finally been finalized (hmmm... “finally been finalized.” I see that's why we make the big bucks, lol!). That's right, you won't be buying “draft n” routers anymore, as the Wi-Fi Alliance has updated its tests, going from “draft n” to “Wi-Fi Certified n.” Does that make a difference in your everyday computing? No, probably not—how many years now have we been using “draft n” items with nary an issue?

MacBook Air-style netbook available in Singapore next week
Posted on July 31, 2009 | No Comments
Take the MacBook Air, shrink the screen down an inch, slap in some netbook components, and load it up with Windows 7 Release Candidate and -- drumroll, please -- you've got the iiView A2 out of Singapore. Oh, and lower the price to $468. That's kind of important there.
